There was a "teach-in" held recently in some Oakland, CA public schools.
The entire article can be found here. (from the NY Times)
I found this part of the article especially interesting:
"For those in school, however, the topics being bandied about were far juicier than the average civics class. Teachers from elementary school to adult education classes allowed students to discuss everything from whether the United States was committing acts of violence against innocent people to whether American businesses were getting rich on the backs of the poor. One worksheet handed out to students was blunt in its assessment of the current events: “About 1,000,000 Iraqis are dead and 4,000 American soldiers. The war will cost the U.S. about $2.8 trillion. Our schools don’t have money. Many people don’t have health care.”
Oh, that "worksheet" said that, hmmm?
Gosh, I wonder if conservative ideas and solutions got any play or discussion at this "teach-in." Think there was any intellectual diversity there?
Of course not. Our liberal friends in education too often neglect that part of the "diversity" idea.
